KrolMong Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 A bit of a test of Wednesdays transfer planning. Given that it’s looking likely that McGuinness is heading back, and with a shortage of bodies at centre half, have we got replacements in the bag already, so can we react immediately and get the cover in? Interesting that Ipswich and Plymouth are doing lots of early business. We don’t need much, striker, wing back, and as it stands now, two center halves.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The only "positive" in the McGuinness news is that its being flagged on the 6th Jan and not 6pm on the 31st Jan Disappointing but its the way of the world with loan players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Owl, Liam Waldock is flying for them, scored 14 goals so far this season. Said at the time he joined them that Waldock was too good for that level. But he went where was wanted and felt comfortable. Maybe his current form gets him an upward move, if he wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is its part of football, i am sure some are bemoaning why there was a release clause. Not grasping that on occasions we would be delighted not to be stuck with a dud or that it was always part of the negotiation ie we would not have got him in the first place if we had to strike that out Fuck all you can do Lets be honest - you could guarantee if we bought him, within 2 weeks he would be frigging injured and out for 6 months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 DM was asked quite a lot about potential transfers by the press. Played it just right, tell them what he wants them and other clubs to hear. It sounds like they've got an eye on some players. Interesting response when asked about Wickham. I wonder if there is a chance he could come here IF Paterson does go North? Probably not but would make some sense because Id assume we are expecting some cash for Paterson which might give us room to sign a better calibre of centre half whilst presumably getting Wickham at a reasonable rate (Im guessing will want a signing on fee), although I also wonder if Ipswich and Plymouth will be sniffing around him. Re the Paterson situation, whats that all about? Either DC is talking to them and not told DM (I cant see that) or they are flying a kite, which is what it sounds like based on what DM said. Still makes me laugh (in a 'this is ridiculous' way) that we couldnt find a centre half for £5M back when we signed bloody vAken, surely there were McGuinness and Storey type players about back then, even if we were looking for more of a finished product, but no we signed a bloody biscuit man that turned like the Titanic. At the end of the day, we are only going to know about a new player when its announced and not before, as weve said before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 tbh if they cant recall him and we manage to keep him that would be huge. However, I suspect it might increase the chances of them selling him and you'd think there would be some interested parties out there at Championship level. Its whether they could command a fee that matches his potential which might open the door for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Dele-Bashiru is on it, there is nobody in this division that can get anywhere near him, thing is we haven't seen him do it on a consistent basis that we need.

M42Owl Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Does anyone know how player registrations work? Presumably, McGuiness is registered with SW until it’s transferred back to CC. But if FIFA/EFL won’t, yet, allow CC to register him, doesn’t he remain, technically, our player until a decision is made in their favour and the paperwork is approved by EFL, even though he might be training with Cardiff’s squad? So if decision is made after January… Decision goes our way: he’s stays registered with us. Decision goes against us: it’s too late for his registration to be transferred to CC. It stays with us. Either way, CC can let MM resume back at SW or have him spend 5 months twiddling his thumbs. Surely, they’d rather he played and was paid by us? So would another three weeks of FIFA/EFL procrastination work in our favour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
